To be sincere, i. e., with out wax, was considered by the ancients one of the su premo virtues, and any per eon having a transparent character was accordingly honored above hff fellows. It is still 80 considered, and every ono is. judged largely by whether he be considered pincers cr not. This is so in every wall j.f life. Any man'n crroneous'-faith, of any kind, and Ids wrong acTs al so, are 'excused if one believes lihn sincere. ., The wrong is condoned, a an error of the head ami not of the heart. It is, indeed, a noble trait. J It is ono of. the saving virtues of fallen humanity that there is a disposition in every per son not wholly lost,..to think others sincere, even where grievously, ami .manifestly wrong; The principle is of ten carried to the mischievous extent of believing every one right in.any opinion he enter tains, provided he is sincere. Of course, that is'an extreme, hich a novice in moral ital science will at rd; yet it illustrates lighly sincerity ir prized id a cardinal virtue. Nnw. flTOrv virtiio . 'lina' iti opposite. The antithesis of sincerity is. hypocricy. As sincerity is one of the noblest characteristics of the human eoul, bo hypocricy is one of the basest. Indeed, it is prob ably not going too far to say the lowest and meanest. Alas, it is too true to say that it is aUo the most com mon. It has avays been the most conspicuous evil-in re ligion, as it is in business and social lifo. Every., ono who reads the ' Bible remembers the Scribea atid Pharisees and the fearful denunciations 6l T T . . 1 I uiun wno spaKo as never , man spake." All remember Judas, the bvijocrite and traitor, who betrayed his master with a hypocritical kiss. All are familiar with Annanias andSaphira, whose base hypocricy and lying re united in their death. Of all low, mean, djrty, dete jtaltfe things hypocricy is the lowest, meanest, dirtiest ami most detestible. There are,, doubt- 1 aJn it: tvit' nnv ) nmch of it. If egreo is too a man is a man, he should be open, honest, sincere. It mat ters not what other qualities a man may have, if he, is a hypocrite ho is dangerous. Joab had many noble quali ties, but who, with any virtue in his soul, does not despise him, becauso he met his fel low captafn and, as he kissed him RnId,TTi!l hrntlir A m i eword under tho fifth rib and -vrrrcr.

Hypocri- cidedly better plain blunt- T.n'i than nnenking liypocn The President's Message, The message to Congress of President McKinley, printed today, is one of the most markable official documents that has been promulgated in this country, for some time, though both Mr. McKinley and his predecessor have been responsible for messages of no mean novelty. In all fair ness to Mr.' McKinley it can be said that the pa per ia fresh proof, if such were needed, that the nation ha's a politi cian for . president! and one withal who lacks the fertility of expedient and the decisive ness that go to the make-up of even the. first -class politi cian. The message, so pal pably in many parts a defense of the course of the adminis tration, has clumsy rh'odo montade where an able advo cate would have put clever justification, wThile the refer ences to the "market price of libertpT and the "stringent anti-trust law" that his At- f torney General has made a dead weight on the Federal statute books, can scarcely be considered happy in the present state of the public mind. Emergencies take the neasure of men and" of par ties. ' They bring the oppor tunity of the highest success, or. danger of the deepest dis aster. No president of the republic since 1868 has had so many emergencies to meet as Mr. McKinley. His was the opportunity to indicate to 70,000,000 of people what would be the clear policy of a victorious party of which he is the official head, and, therefore, what will be the policy of tfie government in conditions of the gravest pos sible import in both domestic and foreign affairs. Let him who can, find aught of clear policy in Mr.-'McKinley's mes sage as regards the two most absorbing public questions trusts and the disposition of Cuba and the Philippines. In regard to trusts there is only a deal of awkward stump oratory, a warning not to act rather than an encourage ment to his party to act vig orously, while we are told how naughty the rebels. have been in the Philippines, and how the broad mantle of ex scutive "clemency" will de scerid upon them, instead of what bliould be done with the islands. Like when the Mai ne was blown up in Ha vana harbor, the Chief Exec utive has nothing to recom mend. As to Cuba, there is the citation of the Congress ional pledge to let Cubans govern' themselves, followed by, a picture of the dire things that will follow if the pledge is kept. Hawaii is to Laye thfe unutterable bliss 6f? a Federal judge, and Porto jli co reaov-made teinporary government," thougb every body had ' supposed that it ,4 - 1)0671 already. .lhVMr- .McKinley in dicates no policy for his party in the crisis which confonts the country, it is plain enough that his procrast i n a t i o n means "laying on the -new-world burdens of the old." By dodging and delay it is hoped lo impress , the 'public that militarism and imperial ism have been fixed on the country by force of circum stances and not by the .delib erate choice of the Republi can party. Congress can. be spared the necessity of action or declaration of intention, beyond voting men, ships and money too prosecute the war on the Filipinos, while the iKiople are tickled with reports of victory and habit uated, without sudden jars, to bearing the expenses of war. By and by when a reckoning is called the Re publican party can hold up its hands and exclaim: 44Thou canVt not say I did it." Ulon - a few points, how ver, Mr-TeKinley is clear- sidy steal is to be put through, the existing gold standard is to bernaintained through a re-Ujateiit process for issuing and and selling gold bonds, and the control of the currency is to be more than ever turned over to national banks. Mr. McKiniey's advice to Con gressmay be summed up as follows: Let Cuba and the Philip pines rock along. Cavort and cuss the trusts but don't touch them. Tickle bond buyers with a promise of bond whenever they want them. Keep . campaign . tontribu tors in good humor by fixing of good firmly on the country. Prepare to refire the green backs and give natienal banks a free hand.' Yank the JEagle's tail. Hooray for the flag! News and -Observer. I His Lifejas Saved. , Mr. J. E.
